I lawaii and lias uMially been reported from this rej^ion under the 

 synonymic name imiotahills. 



Saussure states that its ran^e is widespread in Oceania and 

 that it occurs also in I'orneo and Ja])an. One female taken at 

 Sapporo, ja])an, is in the collections of the l'hiL-idel])hia Academy. 

 Like the Ia])anese material recorded by Saussure, it is darker than 

 the usual type liut can be matched by the Hawaiian specimens 

 before us showing the maximum intensification of coloration.

This species has not previously been recorded from Hawaii. 

 It has been recorded by Saussure from Africa. [Mozambique and 

 the East Indies, and bv Shiraki from Formosa. One specimen 

 before us in the Hebard Collection is from the Loo Choo Islands 

 of Japan. 



The insect may be readily distinguished from G. occanicus 

 Le Guillou. the other introduced species of the genus in 1 lawaii, 

 by its decidedly smaller size, head with a narrow but consj)icuous 

 transverse butTy line between the ocelli, the vertex in some speci- 

 mens showing a transverse buff band, and by the more widely 

 separated and sinuate veins of the lateral fields of the tegmina.
